For those looking for large screens but also looking for a good quality / price ratio, a new option among mid-range phablets will be added in the coming days, with the arrival in Spain of the last of Huawei and, of course, it is necessary to put him face to face in a comparative with one of the reference, which is Samsung: Huawei Mate 10 Lite vs Galaxy J7 2017.
Designer
From an aesthetic point of view we find two relatively similar phablets, with fairly smooth lines in both cases, although it is noticeable that the frames of the Mate 10 Lite they are smaller, especially at the bottom and top. From a practical point of view, both comply with what we have become accustomed to expect from the best mid-range phablets, and offer us the premium finishes of a metal case and fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
When comparing the dimensions of both, it must be taken into account that, as we will see in the next section, the screen of the Mate 10 Lite is larger, which explains why it is also a bulkier device (15,62 x 7,52 cm against 15,25 x 7,48 cm) and gives greater value to the fact that it is a little lighter (164 grams against 181 grams). Although small, it also has a slight advantage in thickness (7,5 mm against 8 mm).
Screen
As we anticipated, the screen of the Mate 10 Lite it is bigger (5.9 inches against 5.5 inches), but it is not the only thing that changes, since it has also adopted the 18: 9 aspect ratio, so fashionable lately in the high range. Another difference to note is that the Galaxy J7 uses AMOLED panels. In resolution, in any case, they are tied, because that of the phablet of Huawei is a bit taller, but it's just really to compensate for its format being a bit longer (2160 x 1080 against 1920 x 1080).
Unlimited
In the performance section, the scale leans a little to the side of Huawei's phablet, because in both cases we have a mid-range processor, but it is true that his is more powerful (Exynos 7870 eight core to 1,6 GHz against Kirin 659 eight core to 2,36 GHz), and also has a bit more RAM (3 GB against 4 GB). They arrive with Android Nougat, Yes indeed.
Storage capacity
An important point in favor of Mate 10 Lite We have it in the storage section, where it is quite ahead of the usual in this price range with 64 GB internal memory, while this is perhaps the section in which the Galaxy J7 goes something more fair, with 16 GB. With either of the two, in any case, we will have the option of gaining space externally through a card micro-SD.
Cameras
El Mate 10 Lite It draws attention especially in the cameras section thanks to the fact that it comes with dual cameras both behind (16 and 2 MP) as in front (13 and 2 MP). At Galaxy J7 We have two conventional cameras, but of a very good level in any case, especially the one for selfies, which with 13 SM equals the main.
Autonomy
We will have to wait and see what the opinion of the independent tests is when the Mate 10 Lite in actual use conditions, but for now it must be noted that the Galaxy J7 advantageous part thanks to a larger capacity battery (3340 mAh against 3600 mAh) and thinking that its screen is smaller and uses AMOLED panels, the normal thing is that its consumption was also lower and that the victory would end up being theirs.
Huawei Mate 10 Lite vs Galaxy J7 2017: final balance of the comparison and price
We find here two very interesting phablets with very clear and distinctive strengths: the main claims of the Mate 10 Lite are a larger screen, more storage capacity and dual cameras, while the Galaxy J7 it is more compact and will surely offer us better autonomy.
Another factor that may be key to ending up tilting the balance on the side of Samsung, depending on our priorities, is that although it falls a step behind in some sections, it is true that we will also be able to get it a little cheaper, since it can be found quite easily for 300 Euros and even less in some distributors, while that of Huawei appeared in reserve in the first distributors by 350 Euros.
